Hi everyone,

I just recently got the HTC one M8, and I am unsure if the battery life is good since it is my first smartphone. I usually get between 14-42 hours of battery life with moderate utilization of phone and data power between each charge. Does that seem like a reasonable and accurate battery life for my phone? How long do you usually get and with what phone? Thanks!
 
That sounds about right to me. I normally get around 2 days with my sony experia z1 compact with moderate usage .
